Finding treasures in the house amidst the pandemic

Tweet

So during this lockdown, quarantine, stay at home whatever you want to call it almost all of us had done some house cleaning. Tell you what, did you know that there might be silver lying around your house? I know some of you know but for those who don't had you heard of junk, cull or constitutional silver? These are coins that don't really have numismatic value ( although some do) that are worth more than their face value simply because of their silver content. I would like to focus on American Washington quarters and Roosevelt dimes because they are numerous , easiest to find and had been the international standard currency for a long time. So this is what we will be looking for: 1) Washington quarters 1932-1964 is 6.25 grams 90%silver 10%copper 2) Roosevelt dimes 1946-1964 is 2.5 grams 90% silver 10%copper. There are also countries with late silver coinage like Canada, Australia and New Zealand but will not touch on them here. So what are you waiting for? Search those old coin jars, examine those shiny quarters mom, dad grandpa grandma gave to you and for those not living in the U.S., check those loose change of relatives that had travelled abroad during the 60s -70s when they were still abundant.Good luck searching. Do you collect coins? Have you any? Silver is a good hedge in case another financial crisis occurs after this virus thing is over Picture is from my personal collection
